The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) issued a circular announcing that all government
entities, departments, and institutions will observe a holiday on Friday, 13th Rabi Al Awwal 1447 AH, corresponding to

September 5, 2025, in commemoration of the birthday of Prophet Muhammad. The Department also stated that official
duties will resume on Monday, September 8, 2025.

The Department emphasised that this holiday is in line with the Dubai Government’s guidelines on religious and

national observances. The holiday aims to enable employees to observe this blessed occasion with their families,
fostering a spirit of unity and tolerance.

DGHR clarified that the circular does not apply to institutions and departments that operate on shift schedules, provide

essential public services, or oversee critical facilities. These organisations will set the work schedules of their employees
based on operational needs to ensure uninterrupted delivery of public services during the holiday.
